Sheriff John Grismore's simple assault charge dismissed after two mistrials, and no further trial pursued.

Franklin County Sheriff John Grismore's simple assault charge has been dismissed with prejudice after two mistrials. Grismore was accused of kicking shackled detainee Jeremy Burrows in 2022. Following the mistrials, Grand Isle State’s Attorney Doug DiSabito concluded that pursuing a third trial was not in the public interest. Grismore also lost his law enforcement certification due to a violation of Vermont's use of force policy.
